Abstract
The invention relates to a method for absorbing the vibration of a five-piston engine and to a vibration-absorbed five-piston engine. At least two separate piston units are synchronized to operate in a counter action such that a certain position of one piston unit actuates forcibly and simultaneously the operation of fuel pumps and injection nozzles intended for the two piston units. Operation of the fuel pumps can be effected mechanically by means of the actions of the piston unit.
